electromagnetic waves

"This engaging book describes the properties of light waves, how they move, and the way our eyes receive them. Readers will learn that we see an object when light reflects from its surface and into the eye. A link to interactive activities online plus an activity in the book allow readers to create models that explore how to redirect and block the path a light wave travels."--.

"This ... title introduces readers to the concept of a wave and the patterns and properties common to both light and sound waves. Clear text and detailed diagrams combine to demonstrate the cause-and-effect relationships involved in the properties of amplitude, wavelength, and frequency. A link to interactive activities online plus an activity in the book allow readers to explore key concepts close up by creating their own wave models."--.

Young readers will learn about electricity facts.

Introduces quantum physics, the study of matter at the subatomic level.

An introduction to waves and wave motion, explaining electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves, the behaviors of waves, and real-world uses of waves.

"Red Kangaroo is having a fun day at the beach! She loves watching the waves go up and down, but, suddenly, she has a question: Do the waves ever stop? Dr. Chris has the answer-not only do waves never stop, but there are all kinds of waves around us! Discover all the waves you can and can't see, plus the waves you can hear!"--Publisher.

"This book is about [the history of] x-rays [and how they are used]"--Provided by publisher.

Microwaves heat our food. They carry messages from phone to phone, and they help detect the weather. Microwaves are all around us, even if we don't see them. Readers will learn about microwaves and how we use them every day.

Radio waves aren't just for listening to your favorite radio station. They are used to make GPS receivers and wireless internet work, plus scientists use radio telescopes to help them study space. Readers learn about radio waves and how we use them every day.

Introduces young readers to the basics of light, discussing what it is and how it works.
